Why not get a taste for singing via the Sing Cumbria website.... explore the website here.
Sing Cumbria is inspired by the Music Manifesto's National Singing Programme. It's a programme to make sure that singing is at the heart of every primary school child's life. We believe that singing has power to change lives and help to build stronger communities.

Tuned-in gets a positive review in the TES web extra...
Eclectic, imaginative, inspirational...you’d be some time trawling through the thesaurus to find a single word to describe the Tuned-In website.
We've had a report of mp3 files not playing when the site is used via IE7.0.
Please check that you have assigned mp3 file types to the media player of your choice (eg Windows Media Player > Tools>Options>File Types and ensure that mp3 audio is selected). Close WMP and close IE. Relaunch IE and the problem should be sorted.

Using On-Line Music Resources in the Classroom from Foundation to Key Stage 2
Kevin Hamel, author of the Tuned-in resources will be hosting the above workshop on Saturday October 1st as part of the NAME National Conference 2005. The Conference is being held at The Sage Gateshead from 30th September - 2nd October.
Conference visitors will be invited to access Tuned-in from the work stations within ExploreMusic, Gateshead Council's state of the art specialist music library within the Sage Gateshead.
So, whilst everyone's off sunning themselves we're busy re-vamping Tuned-in in readiness for the Autumn Term.
First off, we're coverting the previous site into a blog - which means more interactivity and the possibility of using this site more creatively in the classroom.
Then we're sandblasting many of the exisiting units and removing all embedded sound file links.
And finally...we'll be adding new streamed content with lots of video and music - hosted by our friends at Gateshead Grid for Learning.
